Today, I am talking about the power of consistency for sustainable business growth. You know, by now, that business without burnout is mine ‘’why’’. But unfortunately, I see a lot of business owners leaking energy, time, and money, jumping into new strategies, tactics, and investments without any kind of prescience. So the next step, of course, is burnout and failure. Remember that success comes only from what you do consistently. If you need help to create consistency in your business, you can take valuable insights from this episode.

Today is another “Bitesize Brilliance” episode that will give you insights into managing difficult conversations. One of the benefits of being a small business owner is that you have complete control over managing your business. But stepping into a leadership role means also tackling sensitive and complex issues independently. As you grow, this will become part of your business. I don’t want this to be your struggle. Instead, I want to empower you to be better at it. So listen in and share with your community!

Welcome back to The Thrive and Grow Business Podcast! I hope you’re feeling renewed and revived going into 2022.

Today is another “bitesize brilliance” episode that will give you a mini shift and breakthrough that you can implement in your day to day to help overcome common obstacles.

Today I thought I would talk about some of the different stages I see on the growth trajectory of most businesses.

Today I’m going to be talking about self-care strategies for a high performer, AKA me! And odds are if you're listening to this podcast, you may be a high performer, too. When I first began my business and really dug into scaling and growing it, my high-performance tendencies led to burnout (as you know if you listened to my earlier episodes). So today I want to talk about how you can take care of yourself as you’re growing and scaling so that you can constantly nourish yourself so that you can prevent burnout.

Welcome back to The Thrive and Grow Business Podcast! As the end of the year approaches, we’re entering a season that can be full of external pressure to finish the year strong while setting a plan in place for 2022. However, in order to be successful in this, I think it’s really important to take a step back, take a breath, and reflect on what it means to be at your best. What’s your capacity? What do you really need? So, today I’m sharing how to be conscious of your own needs as you create your plans to grow and scale next year.

Last week on the podcast I shared the journey that I took from taking my business from a side hustle to earning six figures. Today I want to get a little more reflective and share the lessons that I have learned in the past year and how I’ve grown from them. I also want to talk about the key things that have contributed to my business success and growth with hopes that it may give you a little clarity, too.

Today on this very special two-part episode I’m going to be sharing the story of how I scaled my business from a side hustle to earning six figures in less than a year. I did all of this after extreme burnout and coming off of an episode of depression, so I have learned what works and what doesn’t. But this helped me define on a deeper level the services that I want to offer and the clients I want to serve. You’ll hear what convinced me to get started, what it means to be fully booked, investments I’ve made along the way, and more!

Are you scared of being vulnerable online? In this episode I talk about how most of us are only seeing the shiny side of business growth online and how this can be detrimental to our/others mental health and actually if we let go of the fear of judgement and shared a more vulnerable side/both sides of the coin when it comes to our business journeys - could we become more attractive to our ideal clients?
I also share some surprising results from my recent poll with influential business owners about sharing their vulnerable side and dare you to try this out yourself by using the #imperfectpledge
All you need to do is share a vulnerable post, use the hashtag and become part of a new ripple effect that shows other women to show up in a more authentic and imperfect way and see what results you get!!
